Ellis seemed as though he hadn’t heard the gossip and rumors, but Mary noticed that his hand holding the chopsticks was slightly exerting force.

Victoria was choked by the scolding, and her face changed color on the spot.

She clenched her fists in grievance, then looked toward Ellis and said softly, “Ellis, did I make Mary angry? I really didn’t mean to…”

Ellis slowly raised his head. Those eyes that were

usually commanding and condescending now revealed an unusual depth.
